    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The city is like one big construction site. A roller coaster.

whoops! hope you didn't break any exhaust bolts in the head :O

might want to replace with a nylon locking nut or use some locktite.

Doesn't look like it. It's loose where the megaphone meets the collector.

I rode home with my right foot holding it up most of the way. Those exhaust gases get hot - wouldn't have worked with flip-flops!
 
who ever mounted your tire has put way too much weight on the wheel

I usually carry some long zip ties now for special occasions. They're compact, easy to store and have many uses ....

Excellent idea. I was once near a dealership when the handle bar choke cable dismounted itself. Zip tie did the trick. That's what's holding the megaphone in place now until I go for a bolt, nut and some washers in a little while.

And zip ties. I'm going to stash some under the seat in the rear compartment. That's about all that will fit there. :biggrin:

Interesting. I don't see any mention of tubes on their web site. Anyone know if Dyna Beads are compatible with tubed tires?

They aren't, as far as I have been able to figure out. Not sure I would want any sloshing around inside a tube.

You are still running tubes in your 1100?
 
Yup, stock 1982 "snowflake" wheels. Was told they were designed for, and should still use tubes.

I'm very pleased with the Pirelli Sport Demons, though, so the tubes don't bother me.
 
Interesting. I thought all of the cast wheels in the '80s could go tubeless. I love this forum for new learning.
